So people always ask me Why bikes And honestly it s not just a hobby for me it s a full-on obsession that started way back when I was 15 My grandpa had this old beat-up bike pretty sure it was a Jawa and even though it barely worked to me it was pure magic I d watch him fix it dream of riding it and just imagine what it would feel like to be that free By 16 I was begging for a moped to zoom around the city But my parents Absolutely not They were too scared I d hurt myself and yeah I wasn t even old enough I just kept thinking One day this WILL happen Fast forward a few years I was working in Greece and a friend had this amazing motorcycle Bikes are everywhere there and one day he offered to take me for a ride And let me tell you everything clicked That rush of speed the wind in your face the way the bike becomes an extension of your body I was hooked Later I traveled through Asia bouncing between Thailand and Malaysia I spent most of my time as a passenger on mopeds so fun btw but I was way too nervous to actually ride one myself Coordination Scary Crashing a rental Nope But after that trip I promised myself You HAVE to learn to ride for real So when I got home I signed up for lessons My instructor looked me up and down and said Do you even know how to ride a bike with gears And I was like Nope and I ve also never ridden a bicycle sooo good luck with me Three months later License in hand baby A year after that I saved up and bought my first bike a Kawasaki Ninja 250 Not the biggest but oh my god it s HOT Sports bikes have this energy it s aggressive sleek and let s be real they just look sexy Yeah your back s gonna hate you after a long ride but the speed and adrenaline make it 100 worth it One of my fave rides My friend and I went out of the city at sunset cruising down this empty country road Trees everywhere the sky this insane orange glow tractors in the fields so random I know I hit 120 km h and it felt like flying Moments like that You re not just riding you re connected to the road the air the whole world around you Bikes give me a freedom and rush I can t find anywhere else It s not just the adrenaline though duh that s amazing it s the focus the control the challenge It s like meditation but fast and loud And let s not lie bikes make you look damn good Girls on bikes Fierce Guys in full gear Chef s kiss For me motorcycles are more than just machines They re freedom power style and my escape from everything My love for them is forever
